There quite different Mick , so i wouldn't think so . C forks were protested at the Connondale nats and the protest upheld .Longer travel and the handlebar clamps are rubber mounted .

My RM250C has solid mounted bar clamps. Mine is the first C model (with the alloy tank and steel swingarm)

If you want to ask an eligibility question, maybe you should ask the commission, through MA.  I have seen a pair of C forks they seem to be the same as the B forks with an aluminium extension on the top.  They may be the same forks modified by Suzuki for extra travel.  It may just be a case of undoing the extension and screwing the fork cap in, other internals may need to change also. The triple clamps however could be a problem.

Either way ask MA, they can say yes or no.

Ted is correct (sometimes) don't ask eligibility questions here.
